Performance Artist/Musician Laurie Anderson's Solo Work Dirtday!

Enjoying greater public visibility than virtually any other avant-garde figure of her era, the revolutionary and genre-busting Laurie Anderson returns to the Zellerbach stage. With Dirtday!, the experimental performance artist, composer and musician turns her critical gaze on politics, theories of evolution, families, history and even animals. Set against a detailed and lush sonic landscape, this powerful and soulful collection of songs and stories creates a unique picture of a hallucinatory world made up of both dreams and reality. The third and last in her series of solo story works -- which includes Happiness and The End of the Moon -- Dirtday! is the culmination of Anderson's groundbreaking work in this genre. The Boston Globe calls her "the reigning performance artist of her time."
